Question

Water flows from a large drainage pipe at a rate of 950 gal/min. What is this volume rate of flow in (a) m3/s , (b) liters/min, and (c) ft3/s ?

Answer 1

`0.05997\ m^3/s`

`3596.1395\ L/min`

`2.11647\ ft^3/s`

Step-by-step explanation:

`1\ gal/min=(1)/(264* 60)\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950* (1)/(264* 60)\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=0.05997\ m^3/s`

Volume rate of flow is
`0.05997\ m^3/s`

`1\ gal/min=3.78541\ L/min\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950* 3.78541=3596.1395\ L/min`

Volume rate of flow is
`3596.1395\ L/min`

`1\ gal/min=(1)/(7.481* 60)\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950* (1)/(7.481* 60)\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=2.11647\ ft^3/s`

Volume rate of flow is
`2.11647\ ft^3/s`
